Valentina, our tour guide was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. She knew the area well and showed us the best vantage points for the falls, providing boat trip guidance and some memorable picture taking areas in the town. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
Waterfalls were powerful and mesmerizing. Be prepared to climb steps! The village was beyond anything we could have imagined. If you visit Switzerland and miss seeing Stein em Rhein, you’re missing something very special. With Valentina as your guide, you will learn a lot. She is very sweet, too.
